Tethered Woods

Tethered Woods, located north of Lyria and south of Sicarus' Rest, is in central Kingdom of Lyria.

History
Between 2000 BS and 100 BS, a great wood elf nation once lived in these forests. However, after Aedari Sicarus' crusade they were wiped off the map. The blood that soaked the forest ground soon cursed it, giving life to vile plants and monsters that aggressively defended their home.

Many attempts have been made to deforest these woods, but each attempt has led to bloodshed.

Geography
Brambles and thorny bushes wrapping themselves around the trees populate the landscape. The trees themselves seem devoid of any life as the bushes have sucked out their nutrients. The area has a very grey landscape, most that live here survive off of meat from a fresh kill.

Notable Information
The wood elven structures still stand alone in the forest watching over the graves of the fallen. Many would be grave robbers have attempted to reach the deepest part of the forest where the ancient city resides, but none have seen it and come back alive.
